Homeowner Care
Support should not end when you move in.
A well-built home should come with clear documentation, practical maintenance guidance, a straightforward warranty process, and a builder who still knows the house when questions come up.

Homeowner Care is built into our process, not added as an afterthought once construction is complete.
See how you’ll be prepared for move-in, keep important information organized, understand what support to expect, and know where to turn when questions come up.
Homeowner Care is Built Into the Process
Moving into a new home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. You’ll know how your home works, where to find important information, what support is available, and how to care for it over time.
Move In With Confidence
Before you move in, you’ll walk through the home’s important systems and features, so you understand how everything works and what to expect once you settle in.
Know What Support to Expect
Scheduled check-ins during your first year give you clear opportunities to raise questions or warranty concerns, including a 30 day check-in and a more comprehensive 10 month review.
Keep Important Information Close at Hand
Your homeowner binder and private online hub keep plans, selections, manuals, warranty information, construction photos, and other important records organized for whenever you need them.
Protect Your Home Over Time
Clear maintenance guidance helps you understand your responsibilities, stay ahead of seasonal needs, and keep your home performing as intended.
Your Home’s Important Information, Organized
Whether you need to match a paint color, locate a manual, see what is behind a wall, or submit a warranty concern, you’ll know where to begin.
Your binder gives you a well-organized physical reference for the information you are most likely to need around move-in and throughout homeownership.
Depending on your project, it may include:
House plans and project documents
Final selections and finish information
Warranty information
Product and appliance manuals
Maintenance guidance
Important contacts and home-specific details

Know What Support to Expect During Your First Year
Living in the home is different from walking through it before closing. Once you’ve settled in and begun using each space every day, questions may come up and items may need attention.
Scheduled warranty touchpoints give you clear opportunities to raise concerns and help keep the process organized.
Your 30-Day Check-In
The first few weeks of living in a new home are the first time it is fully furnished, occupied, and used day after day. As the house takes on that load and materials continue adjusting, some items may need minor attention, such as doors settling, hardware needing adjustment, or caulk separating slightly around a backsplash or other transition.
After you’ve had time to settle in, you’ll have an opportunity to submit one consolidated list through your Homeowner Hub. This early check-in allows those initial adjustments, along with any other warranty concerns that become apparent through everyday use, to be reviewed and addressed in an organized way.
Your 10-Month Review
Near the end of your first year, you’ll be invited to submit a final consolidated warranty list.
This more comprehensive review gives you time to experience the home through changing seasons and identify any covered concerns before the one-year warranty period ends.
It is also when the home’s one-time cosmetic touch-ups, including eligible nail pops, caulk, and paint items are reviewed.
A Clear, Documented Process
Warranty concerns are submitted through your Homeowner Hub so the details, communication, scheduling, and completion remain documented in one place.
Once your list is received, the items are reviewed, an in-home assessment is scheduled, and the covered work is coordinated with the appropriate trade partners.
Understand What Your Warranty Covers
You shouldn’t have to guess whether a concern is covered, how to report it, or what maintenance remains your responsibility as the homeowner.
Your GoldenLeaf Warranty Manual explains:
Warranty coverage and timeframes
How to submit a warranty request
What information to include
Homeowner maintenance responsibilities
Common conditions that are not warranty defects
What to do if an urgent issue occurs
You’ll receive a copy in your homeowner binder, and a digital version will remain available through your Homeowner Hub whenever you need it.
Stay Ahead of Routine Home Maintenance
A well-built home still needs regular care. Knowing what to check—and when—can help you prevent small issues from becoming larger ones and keep your home performing the way it should.
Your seasonal maintenance resources give you a practical guide for tasks such as:
Changing HVAC filters
Checking exterior caulk and sealants
Cleaning gutters and drainage areas
Monitoring crawlspace or humidity conditions
Caring for exterior finishes
Testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Preparing the home for seasonal weather changes
You’ll receive maintenance guidance in your homeowner binder, with digital resources available through your Homeowner Hub for easy reference throughout the year.
Know Where to Turn When You Need Help
Questions are easier to handle when you know who to contact and where the information belongs.
For Questions About Your Home
Your homeowner binder and online Hub are the best places to begin when you need a paint color, product manual, plan detail, maintenance reference, or warranty information.
If you still need help, contact GoldenLeaf, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
For Routine Warranty Concerns
Submit your concern through the warranty request form in your Homeowner Hub. Including the location, a clear description, and photos when helpful allows the issue to be reviewed and routed to the correct person.
For Urgent Situations
If there is an immediate risk to people or property, take the steps necessary to protect the home and contact the appropriate emergency service, utility provider, or service professional first.
Once the immediate situation is under control, notify GoldenLeaf so the issue can be documented and any appropriate follow-up can be coordinated.
Your Warranty Manual includes additional guidance on urgent concerns and homeowner responsibilities.
Feel Supported Before, During, and After the Build
Your home should come with more than a set of keys. You should understand how it works, know where your important information is kept, and have a clear way to get help when questions come up.
Whether you’re considering building with GoldenLeaf or already living in your home, you’ll know what to expect and where to turn next.
